We present a formal framework of an autonomous agent as a collection of coordinated control loops, with a recurring sense, plan, act cycle. Our framework manages the information f...
In this paper, we propose a probabilistic model to study the interaction of bidder and seller agents in sequential automated auctions. We consider a designated “special bidder”...
For the problem of allocating one or more items among a group of competing agents, the Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism is strategy-proof and efficient. However, the VCG mech...
Auctions are useful mechanism for allocating items (goods, tasks, resources, etc.) in multiagent systems. The bulk of auction theory assumes that the bidders’ valuations for ite...
Reasoning about others, as performed by agents in order to coordinate their behaviours with those of others, commonly involves forming and updating beliefs about hidden system pro...
